Food at The Clementi Mall
Located in the heart of Clementi is The Clementi Mall, a hub most Westies would have explored because of its direct connection to the MRT Station and bus interchange, as well as the multiple schools located nearby. Within the mall’s directory of over 150 stores is a lengthy selection of places to eat. If you ever find yourself in the area and peckish, read on for our The Clementi Mall food guide so you know where’s best to dine.
The mall recently launched S3 Rewards, a “shop & earn” programme where you can enjoy a broad selection of member-exclusive promotions and redeem rewards when you dine at these eateries!

3. Ha Jun
The Clementi Mall has a selection of Korean eateries, and Ha Jun is one of them. Here, you can get halal-certified Korean dishes that you know and love. Try their Hotplate Beef ($7), where a honeyed bulgolgi-style sauce gives the thin slices of beef a touch of smokiness.

4. Ramen Ichiro
Get Jiro-style ramen, AKA towering bowls of noodles loaded with ingredients, at Ramen Ichiro, at wallet-friendly prices to boot. Go for the classic Cha Shu Ramen with Umami Tare ($10.90++), which comes with five pieces of marbled chashu and a moreish broth prepared from scratch. Their Pork Chop Tsukemen ($13.90++) is another popular choice, as it combines a Japanese-style fried pork chop with the same, satisfying umami soup.
Tsukemen lovers can also try the unique Pot Pie Cha Shu Tsukemen ($12.90++), where the dipping sauce comes covered with puff pastry for extra butteriness and texture. Another plus point: you can also upsize your noodles for free.

The eatery nods to Parasite with their Ram-Don ($10.90), complete with seared pieces of New Zealand Beef.

One of these is their Jumbo Curry Swordfish ($1.50++), where swordfish sushi is aburi-ed with a curry mayo topping. Also get their Sambal Salmon Kuih Pie Tee ($1.50++), for a Japanese recreation of this Nyonya snack, complete with spicy salmon.

7. Eighteen Chefs
Eighteen Chefs is a culinary institution in its own right and a familiar sight to many Singaporeans, especially because of its famous Heart Attack Fried Rice. If you already know the dish, try something a little different and explore other Western-fusion mains, such as their Striploin with Chicken Bratwurst Sausage ($25.80), or their Salmon with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce ($20.80), where tender fish meets a zingy, rich dressing.
If you’re big on cheese, then get their Cheese Baked Fusilli with Turkey Bacon ($15.80) for a treat that is well worth the calories. This is part of their Christmas menu offering and includes a Butter B, as well as Truffle Mushroom Soup.

8. HOT POT by Seoul Garden Group
HOT POT by Seoul Garden Group has recently undergone a facelift and emerged truer to its Korean roots than ever. At their The Clementi Mall outlet, you can get hearty Korean fare such as Kkori Gomtang ($20++), an oxtail hotpot that is very popular amongst Koreans for its nourishing properties.
Also, try the Scallop Umami Juk ($18++), a Korean take on congee that is protein-rich, high in calcium, and super flavourful thanks to the use of herbs and goji berries. If you love soondubu jjigae, then their Soon Dubu Seafood Hot Pot ($17++) is a must, as this takes the Itaewon Class staple and elevates it with fresh seafood.

Swensen’s menu also has dishes that cater to local tastes, so look out for fusion options such as their Bagus Burger ($15.80++), an upsized spin on a Ramly Burger with Impossible meat. Their Goreng Pisang Banana Split ($13.80++) is well-worth an order too.
